Dr. Parks is always kind and listens to my concerns with respect. His expertise is excellent. I highly recommend him.
So grateful my friend recommended Dr. Parks! He is so polite and shows concern. Setting up next steps, so he can get me better!
Great visit with this doctor! He is a very good listener and took time to explain his observations to me. I appreciated his friendly but respectful treatment of me. And I didn’t have a long wait in the lobby!
I love Dr. Parks. However, I do not love his office manager who gives him one minute per patient. He is not that doctor. He takes his time with you, he explains things thoroughly, and he listens to you. I had to wait almost two hours for my appointment. That is not acceptable. Do you honestly think that he can only spend two minutes per patient? Do better
Dr. Parks is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and truly understands the difference between what is needed medically, vs what offers the best outcome for the practice. If surgery can be avoided, he lays out a treatment plan, and, it works. Not a typical Ortho buy, at all! Highly recommend!
If ten was the highest Dr. Parks would be just that 🙂
He is the best in HSV.
Smart man
He is a wonderful Doctor. He is very professional and a caring. Makes you feel comfortable and like you are special to him as a patient .
will refer him to anyone!
